git-gui requires that Tcl and Tk are 8.5, though the check using
'package require' allows 8.6. As git-gui runs under wish, both Tcl and
Tk are always available and of the same version, so only one need be
checked.
The 8.5 requirement is very outdated as the earliest Tcl currently
shipping on any supported OS is 8.6. 8.7 is in alpha test and is
generally compatible with 8.6, so should also be allowed. Tcl 9.0 has
planned compatibility breaking changes so cannot be allowed.
Let's update the requirements to be 8.6 or 8.7, and check only on Tcl as
Tk will be the same version.

in `rm -f $@` was missed. In a shell script, $@ expands to all
command line arguments, which happen to be the source files lib/*.tcl

Tcl 'open' assigns special meaning to its argument when they begin with
redirection, pipe or background operator. There are many calls of the
'open' variant that runs a process which construct arguments that are
taken from the Git repository or are user input. However, when file
names or ref names are taken from the repository, it is possible to
find names that have these special forms. They must not be interpreted
by 'open' lest it redirects input or output, or attempts to build a
pipeline using a command name controlled by the repository.
Use the helper function make_arglist_safe, which identifies such
arguments and prepends "./" to force such a name to be regarded as a
relative file name.
After this change the following 'open' calls that start a process do not
apply the argument processing:
git-gui.sh:4095: || [catch {set spell_fd [open $spell_cmd r+]} spell_err]} {
lib/spellcheck.tcl:47: set pipe_fd [open [list | $s_prog -v] r]
lib/spellcheck.tcl:133: _connect $this [open $spell_cmd r+]
lib/spellcheck.tcl:405: set fd [open [list | aspell dump dicts] r]
In all cases, the command arguments are constant strings (or begin with
a constant string) that are of a form that would not be affected by the
processing anyway.

git-gui on Git for Windows creates a menu item to start a git-bash
session for the current repository. This menu-item works as desired when
git-gui is installed in the Git for Windows (g4w) distribution, but
not when run from a different location such as normally done in
development. The reason is that git-bash's location is known to be
'/git-bash' in the Unix pathname space known to MSYS, but this is not
known in the Windows pathname space. Instead, git-gui derives a pathname
for git-bash assuming it is at a known relative location.
If git-gui is run from a different directory than assumed in g4w, the
relative location changes, and git-gui resorts to running a generic bash
login session in a Windows console.
But, the MSYS system underlying Git for Windows includes the 'cygpath'
utility to convert between Unix and Windows pathnames. Let's use this so
git-bash's Windows pathname is determined directly from /git-bash.

On Windows, git-gui offers to open a git-bash session for the current

The code for auto_execok, in /usr/share/tcl8.6/tcl.init, has 'start' in

auto_execok does not actually search for start, meaning this usage is
technically ok with auto_execok now. However, leaving this use of

Commit 7d076d5675 (git-gui: handle shell script text filters when
loading for blame, 2011-12-09) added open_cmd_pipe to run text
conversion in support of blame, with special handling for shell
scripts on Windows. To determine whether the command is a shell
script, 'lindex' is used to pick off the first token from the command.
However, cmd is actually a command string taken from .gitconfig
literally and is not necessarily a syntactically correct Tcl list.
Hence, it cannot be processed by 'lindex' and 'lrange' reliably.
Pass the command string to the shell just like on non-Windows
platforms to avoid the potentially incorrect treatment.
A use of 'auto_execok' is removed by this change. This function is
dangerous on Windows, because it searches programs in the current
directory. Delegating the path lookup to the shell is safe, because
/bin/sh and /bin/bash follow POSIX on all platforms, including the
Git for Windows port.
A possible regression is that the old code, given filter command of
'foo', could find 'foo.bat' as a script, and not just bare 'foo', or
'foo.exe'. This rewrite requires explicitly giving the suffix if it is
not .exe.
This part of Git GUI can be exercised using
git gui blame -- some.file
while some.file has a textconv filter configured and has unstaged
modifications.
